You want to compare that to making jokes about hitting Romney?
When? While he is pumping his own gas, a half mile from his home that we can walk up to?

Pocket pool?
Who you approve of and who you don’t is not the dividing line to me. Returning evil for evil makes all parties evil.
I am not saying there is never a time to kill. But if the point is that Kim is so evil that someone should kill him, make that point. This was a movie that is billed as a comedy. Of course the recipient of the “joke” feels threatened. Who wouldn’t. That is not funny. It is stupid. In no way does it advance anything good.
No, Mr. Newt is the presidential material; this was his idea, not Romney’s, and Mr. Newt also said it should be released internationally, and that it should be subtitled in Korean.
What are you blabbering about, that had nothing to do with my post.
The dictator of North Korea who lives in a sealed fortress, who has people in his own government killed, to the degree of having their families killed as well, and whose people will never see this film, or even hear of it, unless he personally wants them too, is not under threat of a nut being motivated by a comedy movie, and he knows it.
A guy who lives in the open in America, is. It is nutty to be making your statements.
I agree with you. While I do not like the idea of being held hostage to threats of violence, which may or may not be real, I have to ask again if anyone in the production of this movie, from Seth Rogan to the head of Sony, ever stopped to think if this movie was a good idea.
“if Sony can make an assassination movie because our culture eats it up then I suppose NK can hack into their information and make threats, which is hunky-dorey in their culture.”
Free Speech and Murder are morally equivalent?
I caught some of the Producers of Interview last movie, ‘Neighbors’ and I wouldn’t watch Interview for free.
You are saying it would be wrong to make the Romney murder flick because it would actually threaten Romney. Whereas the murder flick against Jong-un has no chance of threatening him because of that closed society.
I disagree that there is no threat to Jong-un. Lots of people seem ok with that. Even if you were correct, it is a tasteless thing to do and would make anyone FEEL threatened.
I agree Jong-un is a monster. I said that before.
I still think making the movie was stupid.
For free is the right idea, I have no interest in providing capital to SONY and the Hollyweed left.
No one has been murdered. The movie is about murder and the threats were about murder. No one has actually been murdered. Both are speech.
Tells you where Romney’s head’s at. Father of ‘Romneycare’ wants Sony to give away their movie for free.
That make sense.
How about they grow a pair and release it. How about they grow a bigger pair and tell people to bring their guns, and if they see something, shoot something.
At least release it in open carry states. They aren’t afraid of some diseased freak in Pyong Ying Yang.
Or they can leverage a weak America, postpone release, then just when America surrenders they release it for billions in profits.
Whatever the (lack of) artistic merits, this movie reminds me of “The Great Dictator” starring Charlie Chaplin in 1936. There was absolutely no question which dictator was lampooned. Do you suppose anyone here cared what Hitler thought? Sony and the theater chains are cowards.
You really think that you can reach the dictator of North Korea, or enter North Korea at all, as just a casual nut case?
While your concern for the most evil dictator on earth is interesting, here is a movie that didn’t get banned.
“”Death of a President is a 2006 British high concept mockumentary political thriller film about the fictional assassination of George W. Bush, the 43rd U.S. President, on 19 October 2007 in Chicago, Illinois. “”
Yep, it is something entirely different to make mocking films of Hitler and Kim Jong-un.
Allahpundit has always been a Romney fan. If Romney broke wind, Allahpundit would seize on the aroma as evidence that Romney is presidential timber.
